The “Area” floor lamp by Mario Bellini for Artemide is a remarkable piece from the 1970s that features a tubular white enamelled steel stem mounted on a square undulated grey cast iron base. The handkerchief-shaped lampshade, made of soft synthetic fabric, can be adjusted to various positions, allowing for versatile lighting effects.
Bellini, along with Giorgio Origlia, designed this lamp to embody the concept of light as an immaterial element. The design simulates a floating piece of paper, emphasizing fluidity and lightness. This iconic lamp stands approximately 160 cm tall and is a notable example of mid-century modern lighting design, reflecting the creative and experimental spirit of the era
